boxen looked nice to me, but I really wanted to avoid puppet (even if I never tried, it's often compared to chef and I have lots of bad experiences with chef !)

I've used Puppet extensively for server management (and also done some Chef, and currently som Saltstack.)

Although they are both configuration management tools, they are different.

What kind of issues did you have with chef? And when?
